Oregon Couple Told They Have No Water Rights, Forced to Destroy Their Own PondJanuary 4, 2017 | ANON HQ | anonhq.com | 3,044 views Editor’s Note: Here’s yet another way the system is trying to make it impossible to go “off grid”… Remember the Oregon ‘Rain Man’ or Gary Harrington — who was sent to 30 days in Jackson County Jail and slapped with a $1,500 fine for collecting rainwater on his 170-acre property? He was ordered to breach his dams and drain his ponds that held more than 13 million gallons of water, enough to fill 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Now, an Oregon couple faces a similar fate as Gary Harrington because the rain belongs to the overbearing government, because corporate greed claims water is not a human right, and because Americans are not entitled to do what they please on their private property. The Jackson County Watermaster’s office has told Jon and Sabrina Carey to destroy their 2-acre pond — built 40 years ago, long before they bought the 10-acre property off Butte Falls Highway two and a half years ago — as they don’t have any water rights. “I basically bought a lemon. That’s how they explained it to me.” The county had no issues with the pond until Jon sought to grow legal medical cannabis on his property. He was then required to produce proof that he had a viable source of water for cannabis cultivation. www.thedailysheeple.com/oregon-couple-told-they-have-no-water-rights-forced-to-destroy-their-own-pond_012017
